DUBUQUE, Ia. — While accountability is a must, police dogs help law-enforcement officers do their jobs and protect the community.

Dubuque Police are facing a lawsuit over use of the department's K-9 unit, and the dog has bitten suspects three times more often than K-9 units in some similar-sized Iowa cities, the Times Herald reported on Sunday.
